     -shą’; -sh, an interrogative particle attached to nouns, pronouns, participialized or nominalized verbs, and to other particles. It does not serve, like -ísh, to merely interrogativize an otherwise declarative sentence, and is never used with, or as an equivalent of, the proclitic da’ (V. -ísh; da’). -shą’ is used with the interrogative pronouns to ask who, where, whence, whither, how, why, how about, what about, etc.
